Built in 1887 for barrel maker Michael Murray, this Queen Anne-style house was designed by notable architect Edward P. Bassford.

Built in 1889, this Richardsonian Romanesque-style building stands at the corner of Western Avenue and Selby Avenue in St. Paul’s Cathedral Hill neighborhood. The building was notably home to the W. A. Frost Pharmacy for much of its early history, being owned by Frost until his death in 1930, and remaining in business until 1950, whereupon the decline of the neighborhood and shifting demographics of the area led to its closure. In 1974, the building was purchased by the Rupp family and became home to the W. A. Frost Bar and Restaurant in 1975, which helped kickstart the revitalization and preservation of the surrounding Cathedral Hill neighborhood. The building is a contributing structure in the Historic Hill District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The W. A. Frost Bar and Restaurant remains a popular local business today.

Built in 1931, this small Art Deco-style limestone-clad building was designed by Magnus Jemne to house the St. Paul Women's City Club. Located on an irregularly-shaped site at the corner of St. Peter Street and Kellogg Boulevard, the building echoes this condition in its design, with rounded facades that peel away from the street in places, with a more orthogonal base below. The building was sold to the Minnesota Museum of Art in 1972, and now houses an architectural firm. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
Built in 1891, this ostentatious Queen Anne-style mansion was built for William W. Bishop (W.W. Bishop), and was later known as Mrs. Porterfield’s Boarding House in 1919, when F. Scott Fitzgerald was revising a novel, and spent quite a bit of time on the porch with friends Donald Ogden Stewart and John D Briggs. The house features an ornate dormer with a decorative gable parapet, a semi-circular two-story bay window, an octagonal tower with gable ends on each side decorated with trim panels, a bracketed cornice, a large porch with classical details, and tall brick chimney stacks. The house is a contributing structure in the Historic Hill District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
One Cathedral + 300 Photographers. A special event; #SurpriseStPauls, was the first of its kind. Photography by the public is not normally allowed. Here I tried greatly increased exposure to be able to see the details in the darker parts.
The CP/BN Transfer begins its climb up ex-MILW Short Line Hill in St. Paul with a rebuilt SD60 up front. Nice to see clean power on the CP, and some sunshine in Minnesota this October.
Built in 1883-1884, this Richardsonian Romanesque-style mansion was designed by Clarence H. Johnston, Sr. for Chauncey Wright Griggs, a former Colonel in the Union Army during the Civil War, and a wholesale lumber merchant and part owner of the firm of Griggs and Foster, and his wife, Martha Ann Gallup Griggs. The house was inhabited by Chauncey and Martha Griggs until they moved to Tacoma, Washington in 1887. In 1910, the house suffered a massive fire that gutted the interior, after which a massive reconstruction was undertaken. In 1939, the house was donated to the St. Paul Arts and Science Center by Roger B. Shepard, and the front dormer was replaced with a large and distinctive skylight shortly thereafter, to allow the conversion of the attic room behind it into a painting studio. The house has since been converted back into a private residence, and is widely rumored to be haunted. The house features a rusticated brownstone exterior with arched windows, stone cornices, gable parapets with decorative trim, shingled oriel windows and gable ends, and a circular tower with carved stone relief panels. The house is a contributing structure in the Historic Hill District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
Das Stift St. Paul im Lavanttal ist ein im Jahr 1091 gegründetes Kloster des Benediktinerordens in Unterkärnten. Seine Gebäude stehen in 400 m Seehöhe auf einer Felskuppe am Übergang vom mittleren zum unteren Lavanttal oberhalb des Hauptortes der gleichnamigen Kärntner Marktgemeinde. Die heute bestehenden Gebäude der weitläufigen Anlage des Stifts wurden großteils im 17. Jahrhundert in barockem Stil errichtet. Noch älter ist die Stiftskirche, eine romanische Pfeilerbasilika, die vermutlich ab dem letzten Drittel des 12. Jahrhunderts erbaut und im frühen 13. Jahrhundert vollendet wurde.
Das Stift wurde 1782/87 unter Josef II. aufgehoben, jedoch schon im Jahr 1809 durch Mönche aus dem Kloster St. Blasien wiederbesiedelt. Abgesehen von einer weiteren Aufhebung in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus (1940–45) wird das Stift St. Paul seit seiner Gründung ununterbrochen durch die Benediktiner unterhalten und ist somit das älteste noch heute aktive Kloster in Kärnten. Besondere Bedeutung kommt dem Stift durch seine umfangreichen und wertvollen Kunst- und Büchersammlungen zu, die Abtei betreibt außerdem das private Stiftsgymnasium St. Paul, dem rund 700 Schüler angehören.
2021 gehören 8 Mönche und 2 Novizen zur klösterlichen Gemeinschaft.

Built between 1909 and 1915, this Beaux Arts-style cathedral, dedicated to Saint Paul the Apostle, was designed by Emmanuel L. Masqueray and Whitney Warren, and stands prominently atop Cathedral Hill at the intersection of Selby Avenue, Summit Avenue, and Dayton Avenue. The cathedral, the fourth to be the seat of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, replacing an earlier cathedral location on St. Peter Street in Downtown Saint Paul, which had served as the seat of the archdiocese since 1858, and stands on the former site of the Second Empire-style Norman Kittson mansion, built in 1884. The cathedral, the third-largest Catholic church in the United States and the sixth-largest church in the United States, features a large copper dome, granite cladding on the exterior with classical details, and an interior with soaring ceilings and massive stained glass windows. The church is a contributing structure in the Historic Hill District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. In 2009, the church was designated the National Shrine of the Apostle Paul by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Holy See.
Built between 1929 and 1931, this Art Deco-style 32-story skyscraper was designed by Graham, Anderson, Probst, & White to house the offices and headquarters of the First National Bank. The tallest building in Saint Paul between 1930 and 1986, when it was overtaken by the Jackson Tower at Galtier Plaza, the building remains a major local landmark and a signature piece of the city’s skyline. The building has the distinction of the highest skybridge in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, connecting the 17th floor to the adjacent Merchant’s National Bank Building to the east. The building notably features a large “1st” sign with multiple faces atop the roof, which is visible from up to 20 miles away.
Looking up in St Pauls Cathedral, about a year ago. It's the time of year for looking through old shots and seeing which ones might polish up ok.
Built in 1889, this Richardsonian Romanesque and Renaissance Revival-style building was constructed to house Germania Bank, and was designed by J. Walter Stevens and Harvey Ellis. The last brownstone high-rise building to be constructed in Saint Paul, the building, after the liquidation of Germania Bank, became known by 1902 the Ernst Building, before being known as the Pittsburgh Building by 1907, and the St. Paul Building in 1934. The building was modified with modernized storefronts and other changes throughout the 20th Century. Despite this, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, and was restored to its original exterior appearance in the 1980s.
Built in 1937 and moved to this location in 1939, this prefabricated structure was manufactured by the Jerry O’Mahony Diner Company and is an example of the Streamline Moderne style. Built to resemble dining cars on trains, the diner was moved to this spot and opened by Mickey Crimmons and Bert Mattson, and remaining a locally-owned and operated venture ever since, being featured in popular media. Restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 almost put the iconic diner out of business, being narrowly saved from closure by a fundraising effort that ended up exceeding its goals, with plans for the diner to resume operations in the spring of 2022. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
